Add Comment Question: I have been employed by a restaurant for approximately three and a half years. Over the course of the last year or so, the stress created by the job was crippling. Managers would tell about me to other employees, managers would start rumours about me to other rumours, I took the fall for a lot of things, and I ultimately felt I was being intentionally pushed out. This week, I called in sick before two shifts providing adequate time, and informed the manager on duty that I would provide a doctors note for the week if necessary. Today I received a message from another employee saying they heard management claim I abandoned my job. Should I contact head office? Is this legal?
